May 7, 2025
He told his followers 'I can't live like this anymore'
DANCING On Ice pro Brendyn Hatfield has revealed he’s been rushed to hospital multiple times after secretly battling a serious health condition.
He also blasted the NHS over delays and a clerical error that left him waiting in pain.
The American skater, who joined the hit ITV show in 2019, opened up to fans in a heartfelt video, revealing he has been suffering for over a year.
He kicked off the video with a light-hearted hello and smile, before explaining what has been happening and why he has been off social media for some time.
Doing an impression of Ace Ventura, Brendyn said: "Oh hi there, didn't see ya ...
"Yeah had a minute, and thought I'd update everyone on life. It's a big day tomorrow. Going in for a little bit of surgery.
"Everybody close to me knows whats going on.
"But yeah, for the last year and a half I've really had a hard time with asthmatic symptoms but I've never had it before in my life, like breathing.
"Anyway I've been in A&E a couple of times with massive asthma attacks, never dealt with it my whole life."
Brendyn, 39, also revealed his deep frustration after being discharged by mistake from the NHS in October and told he wouldn’t be seen until December 2025.
